Veterans Allotment Laleston

Dear Editor,

Please consider this photo for your next issue of Seaside News. It’s one of many grown by the veterans in the Laleston Allotment. Our veterans come from all over, including myself and another guy who live in Porthcawl. I think it gives a sense of achievement as well as a great boost for their/our mental health. ‘A bit of mindfulness’.

Another Fine Mess

Dear Editor,

Another year, another Bank Holiday and another load of rubbish dumped on Coney Beach, polluting the waterways and oceans that are already struggling from Welsh Water’s raw sewerage dumping.

This year seems worse than last – disposable nappies and glasses from the Beachcomber/Hi-Tide join the cheap, easily breakable plastic toys, donkey muck, disposable wipes, clothing, towels etc…

Teams of litter pickers do a wonderful job, but it’s not enough. The beach owners (mainly Coney Beach Fun Fair, but also Hi-Tide and BCBC) need to do more. Please contact them, asking for better signage and the provision of bags/grabbers along the Sandy Bay frontage. This will encourage people to do additional litter picks, especially during Bank Holidays and at weekends, when Council staff aren’t working. Contact details are as follows: BCBC – 643 643/ cleanupthecounty@bridgend.gov.uk; Coney Beach Fun Fair – 788 911/info@coneybeach.co.uk; Hi-Tide – 782 432/ hightideinn1@aol.com

Also, why not join a litter pick? Sea Shepherds: https://www.seashepherd.org.uk/events/future-events.html

Let’s all work together for a better future!

Closure Of Lloyds Bank Porthcawl

Dear Editor,

May I simply ask you to reinforce the need for all Lloyds customers to consider contacting the CEO at this bank regarding the proposed closure in September. Previous letters have outlined the impact of this decision; difficulty accessing the Bridgend branch, anxiety for those unable to use internet banking, possible fraud, no access to friendly customer service for advice and longer queues at our Post Office. Lloyds Bank might even gain new customers if it were to be the only bank left to provide the present service in our town.
